NAHB Green Building Standard Public Comment Period

The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), the International Code Council (ICC) and the NAHB Research Center are in the final stages of the process for the development of an ANSI standard for green home building construction practices. The result will be a voluntary green home building standard that can be adopted by local green home building programs or local building departments as a conformance guide.

The NAHB Green Building Draft Standard is being updated to reflect the results of committee’s work in reviewing comments received from the committee members and the public. The new draft is expected to be posted for an ANSI public comment period on Friday December 21, 2007.

Instructions on submitting public comments will be available at that time. Comments will be accepted on any changes made to the first draft. In accordance with the ANSI procedures, the public comment period will continue for 45 days.
